Great Divide Rumble Review #36

Great Divide Rumble
Style: Oak-Aged IPA
ABV: 7.1%
12Oz Bottle Poured In A Dogfish Head Snifter


Rumble IPA is an American IPA with subtle nuance. Brewed with heavy-handed additions of Pacific Northwest hops, this beer is gently aged on French and American oak resulting in a wonderful balance of bitterness, caramel sweetness, vanilla, and undertones of pine and citrus.
